"Although there are several books on Egyptian Pharaohs, few are as easy to use, as comprehensive, or as honest - the ignorance of Egyptologists concerning the most basic information about many of Egypt's rulers is considerable...Each entry provides illustrated (and spelt) variations on each king's different names, the length of their reign, the burial place, the survival of the body, and their consorts; records their appearance in king lists; and provides details about their reigns. The references for each entry are superb." From the foreword by Salima Ikram and Aidan Dodson.
